This easy and natural bath recipe is perfect for anyone having trouble with their skin.
Oatmeal has been used for centuries to provide relief from dry, itchy and irritated skin.
Sunburn, windburn, acne, excess oil production, rashes, scratches and allergic reactions can leave your skin feeling and looking irritated. Relaxing in an oatmeal bath will provide relief and comfort and is simple to prepare.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of rolled oats (not instant/quick oats)
1 chamomile tea bag or 1 heaped teaspoon of chamomile tea
1 knee high stocking.
METHOD
Place the rolled oats and the chamomile tea into the stocking, and tie off close to the oats.
Place the stocking in the bath as it is filling.
When you get in the bath, every now and then give the oatmeal bag a gentle squeeze to release the oat milk.
You can use the oatmeal bag as an all over gentle exfoliator as long as your skin is not broken or weeping.
This recipe is safe for use with children, and can also be soothing to baby’s skin. (Mix together oats and chamomile tea) but only use 1/4 of the mixture. Store the balance in an airtight container.
